What is the pH of a solution with [OH-] = 2.5 × 10⁻² M?

Given: What is the pH of a solution with [OH-] = 2.5 × 10⁻² M? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: pOH = -log(2.5 × 10⁻²) approx 1.6, pH = 14 - 1.6 = 12.4 .. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values like 1.2 × 10⁻⁵, 236 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, CH₃CH₂NH₂ etc. into the formula and simplifying step by step. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.
